Evidence & current status
Status and performance are attributed to the supplier. They do not establish an independently audited fleet size or effectiveness rate.
Role & programme
A Russian tactical reconnaissance aircraft marketed alongside Orlan-10E, with separate programme identity and equipment.
Rosoboronexport describes combat use, while GUR’s current catalogue independently identifies the named programme and associated companies. The reviewed record does not supply a complete numerical table. Orlan-10 dimensions and endurance are therefore not copied into this entry. An export exhibition is evidence of marketing, not proof that a particular foreign customer has taken delivery.
Sourced specifications
Figures apply to the named configuration. Maximum values are not guaranteed operating performance.
